I understand that you graduated Naugatuck high and now think that Staples school would make no difference for you but I can totally see the difference between graduates from poor schools and graduates from great schools with my own eyes.

You can keep thinking that talented kid studying at staples high will have no advantage over talented kid studying at Naugatuck high. This only shows your ignorance.

You just don't get there before sunrise. 3AM it's crickets.

How bad is the traffic usually getting into Boston on weekends? Do you think 2 hour drive from Avon/WH to Boston is a good estimate on weekends?

Please do. Also you mentioned pros and cons of living in a very large house. Can you share some of the cons? I assume the maintaining costs are going to be much higher.

Compared to FFC > NYC, it’s a breeze

It's a breeze. You make it there in 1:40 and valet is already waiting there to park your car for $0. Comparing to Wesport-NYC commute is a walk in the park.

Even if you leave FFC around 11:00AM the traffic won't be bad. It gets worse later but even with traffic commute from FFC to NYC will be much more pleasant than Avon to Boston.

You’re nuts. I do the drive to NYC at least 3x a month during the week and it’s miserable at many times of the day.

Anyway, the question was weekend traffic. Not commuting.
